Your role 

We are looking for a motivated student to carry out a thesis project focused on the correlation between numerical simulation and real process behavior, specifically comparing particle-based DEM simulations with experimental tumbling (barrel finishing) tests.
The candidate will support the Engineering team in both simulation activities and experimental trials.

Main responsibilities:

1. Perform numerical simulations using dedicated software for particle-based modeling (DEM).

2. Analyze and measure the correlation between simulation results and real process outcomes.

3. Model abrasive media and interaction mechanisms within the tumbling process.

4. Conduct experimental tests using abrasive media in a transparent tumbling barrel to observe real behavior.

5. Compare and evaluate morphological and topographical performance between simulated and experimental results.

6. Support data collection, analysis, and technical reporting related to the thesis project.

Main requirements:

• Educational background in Mechanical, Industrial, or Aerospace Engineering.

• Knowledge of numerical simulation tools, with focus on FEM and/or 3D modeling; DEM knowledge is a strong plus.

• Basic understanding of manufacturing or surface finishing processes.

• Ability to work in a production environment and interact with shop-floor personnel.

• Analytical mindset and interest in experimental validation of simulation models.

• Good communication skills and willingness to collaborate with the engineering team.
